Tutorial SMC3 Arduino 3DOF Motor Driver and Windows Utilities

Compiles OK for me...

the errors you listed show two files:
SMC3.ino:135:11: error: 'const int ENBpin1' previously defined here
SMC3_for_GSeat.ino:136:11: error: redefinition of 'const int ENApin2'

Did you have two open or something? Try again with just the file you attached above and it should work unless your compiler is installed wrong. Did the original version of SMC3 compile?

If it only moves in one direction it usually means one half of the h-bridge is blown.

I agree with @Pit, 24V is out of spec for many h-bridges used here - which one are you using?

Sounds like the motors are moving beyond the max limits setup using SMC3Utils. Alternatively the h-bridges are going into thermal or overcurrent shutdown.

Thanks very much @RufusDufus ...
Oh yah ... I'm the first one to download and test this time .



- The Util. opens a CMD window it closes the Util. when closing it ... is that ok ?

Hi @speedy, Yes its OK, I forgot to set the compiler switch to hide the cmd window.

I'll recompile later tonight and post an update - just ignore the cmd window for now.

Thank you @RufusDufus for this "silent" release.

Sorry , maybe i'm lost a point. I would know how i'll could amplifer a signal...i mean that if my signal is very small, and my motor does very small moviments (for example for the surge moviments), is there a method for amplifer this signal ? In my case i would a surge moviments for the shift change or brake, but if i set the surge movimet to 100%, there is a small moviments anyway (max 15°, and i would a 90° moviment in motor's rotation)...maybe do i must use a amplifer? And where could i put it? Thanks a lot

You are right. I'm not good at it ;/ I edited file onece more and this time it was loaded with the succes. But... after some tests the motors working like with Your standard code SMC v0.7 in both directions. So does the code need to be change or I'm doing something wrong again? This time code is here: LINK

Oh yeh sorry, I forgot it is using unsigned values....

The added lines should be:

Code:

if (Target1<512) { Target1 = 512; }

if (Target2<512) { Target2 = 512; }

if (Target3<512) { Target3 = 512; }

hi your issue seems to be related to simtools anyway please open a separate thread and upload any screenshots and pictures of your installation.

THX @RufusDufus . I'will check it and let You know here.

Works like a charm! Gr8 thing, in my opinion worth of imlementing in SMC3 Utility for all DIY G-Seat owners as long as SIMTOOLS won't allow us to setup motors asymetrical.

your recommend to replace IBT-2, for use as motor 24v smolka?

Pardon ?

lo siento, cosas del traductor, El problema es que se quemaron los iBT-2 y los quiero sustituir, quería que me recomendaran unos h-puentes pára usar con motores Smolka 24v, Que No fuesen los iBT-2, estoy ahora probando con 1 monstermoto shield, pero supongo que Será mejor trabajar a 24v para Sacar el Rendimiento a los motores

I'm sorry things translator, the problem is that the IBT-2 were burned and want to replace, want to recommend me some H-bridges for use with smolka 24v engines, which were not the IBT-2, now I'm testing 1 monstermoto shield, but I guess it will be better to get the performance 24v engines

12V = half speed! F. eg VNH5019 supports 24V or Sabertooth and some unknown Chinese bridges...

Thanks Pit
El problema que tengo ahora,que fue el motivo por el cual se quemaron los ibt-2,en el ordenador portatil con windows 8.1,funciona todo correcta mente,el problema esta en el sobre mesa,que tiene windows 10,os pongo un video para que vean mejor,normal mente solo funciona unos segundos,en el video duro mas.tambien si tengo encendida la fuente de alimentacion SMC3Utils no reconoce al arduino



The problem that I have now, which was why the IBT-2 was burned in the laptop with Windows 8.1, everything works right mind, the problem is in the above table, you have Windows 10, you get a video to look better, normal mind only works a few seconds, hard video mas.tambien if I have turned on the power supply does not recognize the arduino SMC3Utils

@jaco73 first reduce the Ki integral term, it can be set to 0. If SMC3 works under Win10 I do not know, because I do not use win10...I have a perfectly running win7 system and any changes are resulting in a disaster for sure

Al principio tenia ki a 0,cambie valores para testar,voy probar a cambiar el windows 10,aun que un dia funciono correcta mente


At first I was ki 0, change values to test, I'll try changing the Windows 10, even one day I run right mind
